Combination of mitomycin C + etoposide in advanced gastric carcinoma. 1985

M Tomirotti, and F Lombardi, and R Biasioli, and R Riundi, and A Scanni

In June 1981 the authors activated a trial to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of the combination mitomycin C (MMC) + etoposide (VP 16) in previously untreated gastric carcinoma with measurable neoplastic lesions. Drugs were administered according to the following schedule: MMC, 12 mg/m2 i.v. day 1, + VP 16, 150-200 mg/m2 orally days 2, 3, 4, 22, 23, 24 every 6 weeks. The response rate (CR+PR) was 16.7%, which is not higher than that obtained when MMC and VP 16 are used as single agents. Overall median survival (8 months) was similar to that reported in the recent literature with combination chemotherapy.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D008937 Mitomycins A group of methylazirinopyrroloindolediones obtained from certain Streptomyces strains. They are very toxic antibiotics used as ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS in some solid tumors. PORFIROMYCIN and MITOMYCIN are the most useful members of the group.
D005047 Etoposide A semisynthetic derivative of PODOPHYLLOTOXIN that exhibits antitumor activity. Etoposide inhibits DNA synthesis by forming a complex with topoisomerase II and DNA. This complex induces breaks in double stranded DNA and prevents repair by topoisomerase II binding. Accumulated breaks in DNA prevent entry into the mitotic phase of cell division, and lead to cell death. Etoposide acts primarily in the G2 and S phases of the cell cycle.
